Could be the u-joint. Could be bearings. Could be the center cap on your tires. Pop it up on a lift or jackstand and give it a spin or three. If unable to isolate, pull the wheel off and try again.
does the noise happen on sharp turns??? mine and a friends also has a noise...i hear it in the steering box. more like a single knock noise though. open your hood and have someone turn your wheels...see if the single knock comes from the box. if so...is this normal??
any one figure this one out i'm having the same problem,
the noise is coming from high on the drivers side when i turn the wheels to the right. standing still or moving,
2000 xj with a 4.5 inch lift and HD trackbar (nothing is loose)
I've seen(heard) similar clicking and it turned out to be the track-bar where it mounts to the frame drop bracket. If you have factory steering still I would check the joint and tighten the nut.
I had a clunk in the front end when I turned the wheels, turned out the RE adjustable track bar came with an undersize bolt that went through the 'tie rod end'; in to the frame. Redrilled the frame and put in the right size bolt and the 'clunk' went away.
